B!TC# IT OUT!

[MermaidSasha]

So this is more of a worry.... My husband's job just laid off 25 people this past week. Luckily he wasn't one of them. But today after work, there are having a shop wide meeting. Hopefully he'll still have a job, we are worried there may be a pay cut though :/

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Good luck!

You'll persist, Whisper. Things will straighten themselves out and you'll be able to breathe easier again. Just keep fighting, and keep doing little things that make you happy.

Vet is working with me, hopefully we can get the mule sold in a few days to get the remaining $1500 out of the way.

The girls at the vets office fell in love with Tray and didn't wanna give him up.

He also got a pretty little girlfriend while there, poor thing had cancer on her lady parts.

He got loose (because he's an ornery mammoth) and sat outside of her stall until they finally figured out where he went and put him back in his stall.
Then they were very loud and disruptive until the vet decided to just put her in the stall next to him to shut them up.

Both her owner and I felt really bad that he had to leave her. But if she is ever okayed to be put in with other horses and once he is healed-we plan for them to meet again. 😊

His leg looks so good compared to what it was a week ago.

That... is the most adorable thing I've ever HEARD.

He must have felt a lot better since he was horsing around with his new girlfriend. I'm glad the vet is working with you.

My dad found one of our budgies dead I noticed that she wasn't in the cage with the others and dad found her, dead. I was upset because I knew that my sister would be absolutely shattered because it was her budgie. A beautiful little white budgie. It could have been any of our budgies.

That's awful. And budgies are so emotive, too. Its a loss.

My stepfather just screamed at me and made me leave the house because I had the last cheeseburger when his actual daughter wanted it

He just wouldn't stop yelling and I was crying and he kept going

And he told me I should just get over my depression and stop saying I want to die because he's sick of hearing it

And he curses and yells and says I can cut myself anytime I want cause he doesn't care

He's the one that used to grab me and drag me by my arms and my hair and hit me and he left me outside during a hurricane when i was 16

He let my mom hurt me for 10 years and even helped her with it because he thought it was "the right thing to do"

I just want it all to stop I want to leave here but I only make $200 a week I just want to die

I'm sorry everyone

Whisper, I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling. I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed. I've never been in your exact situation, but my bipolar turn my life upside down. I know it's not the same, but I know what it feels like to feel powerless. When my bipolar hits, my emotions are so strong that they override all logic. I've felt depression, sadness, anger, and many other emotions. Not long ago, I unfriended everyone on Facebook except for family because I literally shifted from anger to tears while I drove home to feeling better. The shifting of emotions has always taken a lot out of me. My mood swings create rifts between me and everyone around me. My mood swings from last year turned me into a monster against the mercommunity, and I still can't forgive myself for that. There are literally tons of mers I may never have a chance to be friends with on Facebook because of how much I struggle. It hurts being alone. It hurts to feel isolated. Sometimes I'm afraid to be open about my disorder because people who do mass shootings like at pulse regularly get labled Bipolar or with a mental disorder. For people that have it, I honestly believe they do more harm to themselves than what they could ever do to someone else. I'm sorry you are having a hard time, but you will get through. Keep your eyes on a new day. Have faith that things will get better and take advantage of the calm when it comes. There are programs out there that I know can help you with this. I don't know what they are. If you have any friends you can bunk with, I would say give them a call. Remember to take care of yourself. You are stronger than what you are struggling with. Not everything will go well. You'll make mistakes as you find your way out of this. You will have a hard time from time to time. Just don't give up faith, believe in yourself and I know things will get better. I know it's hopeless, but you have to keep fighting. The best way to fight is to not feed into what is hurting you the most. I know you can do it. You are stronger than you know.

I echo Dylan's sentiment, Whisper. I wish there were a way to get you out of that environment! Your father is being abusive and the drinking makes him a real danger. Can you speak with someone in social services that might be able to help with your situation?

He's my stepfather and I'm 19 there's no one who can help me. I don't have the money to live on my own, and I don't have the life skills, either. I'm trying to get a car so I can live in it if I have to, but I only have a learner's permit, since he won't take me out driving.

I just don't know what to do...he makes me so depressed and angry, but I don't have anyone else...I have no friends as I'm autistic, and my family is either dead or addicted to alcohol or drugs. Every one of them.

I'm really sorry for dumping this on everyone...

Man I wish I was just a little closer to you so we could hang out. My dad treated me similiarly minus the drinking and I found the best thing to do was just get out of the house. Its been better since I graduated college and moved out of state with my boyfriend, but I'm still new here and don't really know anyone execpt my boyfriend and a few new coworkers/undergrads I am in charge of. I would just come pick you up all the time like my friends did for me before I could drive. It definitely gets better once you can get some space between you. It was defintely roughest for me from the time I was 18 until 21. Just hang in in there, as annoying as it might be to hear people say that sometimes, it is true and helped me hang on during the rough times, knowing that if I stayes strong and didn't give in things would improve in time.

You don't need to apologize, and I do wish you'd stop wishing you would die.

Contact your local Youth and Family Services office (call the health department, they will steer you in the right direction. Just because you're 19 doesn't mean you don't qualify for assistance. This is a case of domestic violence and there are people and services that can assist you...and though it might sound rude, but this could also be the one time your autism works in your favor, as far as getting you out of there. You cannot live in a car. Start researching social services. Make calls. Get the Hell away from him. If you truly fear for your life, you can get away from him. Get a restraining order. You might be put in a women's shelter, but it sounds better than where you are.

I'm so angry right now. i was swimming in the middle of a 20 foot lake and all of the sudden it starts down pouring and then i realized that my phone was on the chair. so i swam back and my phone is slightly better but i can only use speaker on my phone when i call and when i take pictures they come out landscape, finger print access doesnt work, my phone apps turn landscape unless i keep the rotation lock on so this is really annoying because i just got this phone a couple of months ago and i have to pay for a new one or go back to my iphone 4.
